Members gonzobassman Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 My first proffesional quality bass was a 76 Fender Precision.Maple body,maple fingerboard,black pickguard,and if I had known then what I know now,I would still have that bass.Of course it is long gone(traded in Holleywood California in 81 for a 68 Ric),but I think the next bass I buy will be one of these just like my first one.Probably be real hard to find,and cost several times more than the original purchase price ($350 in 1977),but I think I'm going to end it where I started it,and that will most likely be the last bass I buy.

Lol Maybe someday,if he decides to sell it he will give me a shot at buying it. Hahaha!!! - yeah, I am an unapologetic gear whore... I recently picked up a Genz-Benz Streamliner 600 and an SLM era SVT-410HLF... Still diggin' the Sterling 5 HS, too - I like it alot better than the BFR SR5 HH I traded for it... Last night was my 3rd saturday in a row without a gig - man, am I bored!!! My band purposely doesn't book the 2nd half of august or Labor Day, since it's dead time around here... I'm looking forward to getting "back in the saddle" next week - then, we're booked into next year... - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jackcheez Posted September 5, 2012 Members Share Posted September 5, 2012 Why not order a brand new P bass?:phil: I got an American Special P Bass and it is a pleasure to play. It's my favorite for the time being. There was one problem, I had to replace the nut. It was cut kind of deep for the D string. That was disappointing, but it really is a nice instrument. Sounds great and plays great. [ATTACH=CONFIG]348453[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jazzneck Posted September 7, 2012 Members Share Posted September 7, 2012 I think those Maple/Maple/Black P basses look pretty cool these days. I remember in the mid 70's when at the local store your choice was either those or a Sunburst P. A few years later I saw a red P bass I nearly flipped. Anyway I had a Maple (or some kind of natural color) one and wish I'd kept it too. And the red one, and, and...... Anyway, Happy Hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
